[PC Gamer} TeamGroup's new portable SSD features a physical kill-switch for spies and definitely not for people who can'

Computex 2025 display. That probably won't make it one of the best external SSDs for gaming, but it's decently speedy nonetheless.That said, the TeamGroup PD20 is still our top pick for the best portable SSD, so perhaps data management with an air of danger will unseat one of our favourites. The TeamGroup Expert P35S is pitched at journalists, agents, and anyone else who may need NDA-violating files on the go. TeamGroup's display also suggests 'defense use.' Given the doozy of a security blunder by US government officials in very recent memory, I'm not sure how to feel about that particular application. While those Signal screenshots are forever, I'm going to do my best to set aside that challenging geo-political situation just for the moment. 
(Image credit: Future) I keep coming back to what is essentially the self-destruct mechanism. Now, I tend to trust physical media more than I trust cloud-based storage solutions, but I absolutely do not trust myself with this sort of data kill switch.You see, in video call meetings, my colleagues are haunted by an ever-present click-click-click—and it's me with my fidget cube. Rather than the hyper-competent spy of my Mission: Impossible fanfic, I can only see myself looking down at the Expert P35S I've been absently pawing at like a fidget toy and saying, "Oh, arse—I've only gone and done it again." 
Catch up with Computex 2025: We're stalking the halls of Taiwan's biggest tech show once again to see what Nvidia, AMD, Intel, Asus, Gigabyte, MSI and more have to offer.
